London Pride

A coach struggled through a February storm carrying Sir John Kirkland and seven-year-old Angela away from England. Sleep if thou can, child; the road ends at a house where war cannot easily follow. You step into this one-chapter preview with Sir John Kirkland at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The haven held the child; beyond its walls, both routes back to family were already uncertain. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
